Scholar-generated biography
Soraia Pimenta is a researcher at Imperial College London, specializing in composites. Her work focuses on the mechanical behavior, recycling, and performance of carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRPs) and other composite materials. She has published extensively on topics such as the effects of recycling on composite properties, micromechanical modeling of kink-band formation, and the development of high-performance ductile composites. Her research also explores the mechanical analysis of multiphase recycled CFRPs and the influence of microstructure on composite strength. Pimenta's contributions highlight the importance of understanding composite behavior for structural applications and sustainable material design.
